Cycle along the beautiful coastline of the Kampong Sam province & help raise money for the children of Cambodia -
Sihanoukville, (February 2012) – Cycling enthusiasts, adventure seekers and dedicated fundraisers are invited to sign up for the brand new Sihanoukville Bike Race & Ride. Organised by Village Focus International, this exciting event will take place on Saturday 10th March in the Kampong Sam province. Offering two different race categories – 20km & 60km – bikers will experience the true beauty of the Cambodian coastline whilst supporting VFI’s Child Protection & Child Education projects. Event registration is available in various locations throughout the country and more details can be found on the official website www.villagefocus.org
Commencing at 6am, the Sihanoukville Bike Race & Ride will lead cyclists on a sunrise journey that meanders through iconic areas within the province. Riding past local villages and into downtown, the course also explores coastal roads and challenging hills. To celebrate efforts, a post-event beach BBQ hosted by Village Focus International will commend winners, runners up & top fundraisers.
Hang Piphal, Country Director at Village Focus International said “we are extremely excited to be working in Sihanoukville and giving participants the opportunity to cycle along some of the most beautiful beaches in the region. The success of the Angkor Wat event encouraged us to bring a similar concept to the coast. We hope this year will be the start of many more Sihanoukville bike races to come”.
The Sihanoukville Bike Race & Ride is organised in conjunction with the International Half Marathon, offering participants a weekend of sporting activities down by the beach.
